I tried DBeaver recently and thought it was pretty nice. I tried it as an alternative to Beekeeper.

Some new diff tool https://github.com/dandavison/delta I just wanted to do a diff inside a bash script and ask the user if it looked ok, found this one.

Lima - pretty smooth way to develop on a linux vm on macOS. I connect it via SSH to VS code, and performs quite well on M1/M2 MacBooks.

recently came across Orb, it's a linux VM cum docker runtime. VM boots in seconds, access any folder on Mac as linux folder

How is this better than using git?

chezmoi actually uses git to manage the dotfiles, see https://www.chezmoi.io/user-guide/setup/#use-a-hosted-repo-t... .

I see the comparison page, seems to be a better answer for what I was looking for: https://www.chezmoi.io/comparison-table/

Hm, it seems like most of what chezmoi does, I don't really need, compared to a private git repo.
